Research led by James DeGregori, PhD at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus shows that respiratory viruses such as the flu and COVID-19 can awaken dormant cancer cells, increasing the risk of metastasis. The findings, published in Nature, suggest infections may accelerate cancer recurrence and worsen outcomes for survivors.
